Chapter 72 is finished, and I've gained a lot!
Soon, Minato Namikaze explained all the key points of the Eight Trigrams Seal to Takuno Minamoto.
After he finished speaking, he didn't rush to say anything more, always needing to give Yuan Tuoye some time to process what he had said.
Soon, Yuan Tuoye opened his eyes.
"How is it, senpai?" Minato Namikaze asked anxiously. This concerned the future safety of his wife and son. At this moment, he was already regretting it. He should have given the Four Symbols Seal to Takuno as a reward, so that the other party would have had more time to learn and master it.
Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.
"Well, it's basically usable, but there's no time to verify it now. Minato, Kushina, do you trust me?" Takuno asked.
"Of course Kushina and I trust you, otherwise we wouldn't be revealing this sealing technique now," Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile after exchanging a glance.
"Alright, I'll begin." Gen Takuno took a deep breath and placed his hand on Kushina's stomach, and incantations flowed from his hand.
This was arguably the slowest sealing technique he had ever used. Because he was unfamiliar with it and the other party's identity was truly important, he had to be extremely careful.
Minato Namikaze was also watching this scene from the side, looking at the incantations, and a hint of emotion slowly appeared in his eyes.
Although the speed was indeed very slow, its accuracy was extremely high. There were some flaws, but they were all minor and did not affect the overall situation. Therefore, Minato Namikaze did not remind Takuno Minamoto to avoid disturbing his thoughts.
Only after everything is over will he talk to Yuan Tuoye about these issues and make some minor adjustments to Yuan Tuoye's seal, so that there is no need to completely unseal and re-seal, and there is no need to worry about the Nine-Tails running out again.
After a long while, Yuan Tuoye wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had finally completed the Bagua Seal.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior," Minato Namikaze said with a smile.
"As long as there are no mistakes, that's fine." Gen Takuno said with a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki's face was still pale, but it was clear that her condition had improved considerably, which was the happiest thing for Minato Namikaze.
Since Gen Takuno's guess is true, Kushina Uzumaki will not die!
At this moment, Gen Takuno looked at the other half of the Nine-Tails, which was also already weakened in the distance, and walked over.
"Don't you need to rest for a bit, senior?" Minato Namikaze couldn't help but ask.
"No need, the Nine-Tails' matter is more important, and Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Barrier might not last that long." Gen Takuno said as he approached the Nine-Tails.
The eyeball, almost as big as him, was now bloodshot and staring at him, its entire pupil reflecting his image. It seemed that the Nine-Tails had completely memorized the image of Yuan Tuoye.
If it were to reappear, the first person it would target would be Gen Takuno, solely for revenge!
This is not just a matter of sealing; the other party has also split it in two, which it cannot accept.
Yuan Tuoye ignored the Nine-Tails' hateful gaze and quickly stuffed the entire Nine-Tails back into the body of Uzumaki Naruto, who seemed to be exhausted from crying.
This time, his proficiency with the Bagua Seal has also increased significantly. Not only has his speed improved, but he has also made up for any previous shortcomings.
"Wow, that's amazing, senpai." Minato Namikaze watched from the side, his eyes filled with amazement.
Soon, the sealing technique on Naruto Uzumaki was completed.
Yuan Tuoye finally stretched, his bones cracking.
At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki, seeing this scene, finally released the Kongo Seal and fainted.
The Third Hokage and his companions, who had been trapped outside by the Vajra Seal, were finally able to enter.
Takuno Minamoto was not idle either. He began to examine Kushina Uzumaki's body and indicated to Minato Namikaze that she was out of danger of death.
Minato Namikaze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Third Hokage, seeing this, did not disturb Minamoto no Takuno and began to ask Minato Namikaze some questions.
Minato Namikaze didn't intend to take Kushina Uzumaki to the hospital. Now that the Nine-Tails had caused chaos, there might not be any medical ninjas stationed at the hospital, and their medical ninjutsu might not even be as good as Takuno Minamoto's.
Therefore, why not let Takuno Minamoto examine Kushina Uzumaki?
When confronted by the Third Hokage's question, Minato Namikaze glanced at the people around him and, finding them all trustworthy, began to recount the story of the man in black.
After a long while, when Minato Namikaze finished speaking, the Third Hokage's face also showed a look of shock.
"Is that so? Could it really be Madara Uchiha?" The Third Hokage asked uncertainly. In his memory, it seemed that only Madara Uchiha could summon the Nine-Tails.
However, the Madara Uchiha in his memory did not know space-time ninjutsu, but after so long, he was not surprised at all that the other party could learn space-time ninjutsu with his talent.
"Third Hokage, what is the situation regarding Konoha's casualties?" Minato Namikaze asked after a moment of silence.
Immediately, the Third Hokage's expression also turned silent. Finally, he sighed and told Minato Namikaze what he had seen. This was only what he had seen; countless people had already died and been injured. If what he hadn't seen was added, it would surely be even more terrifying.
Minato Namikaze closed his eyes after hearing the news. The number of casualties also made him a little alarmed, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
"It's all my fault. If I could have defeated that man in black and come to help sooner—" Minato Namikaze's voice was also tinged with pain.
The Third Hokage sighed and said, "Don't blame yourself, Minato. The opponent might be Madara Uchiha. It's already impressive that you managed to escape his clutches and get here. Now you need to think about how to help Konoha recover from this incident and—and also guard against the surrounding countries taking advantage of this time to attack the Land of Fire again."
Minato Namikaze nodded to indicate that he understood.
On the other side, Gen Takuno had also completed his inspection.
"Minato!" Minamoto Takuno called out after Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage finished speaking.
"Senpai, how is Kushina?" Minato Namikaze was immediately startled and then hurriedly came over to ask.
The Third Hokage was watching Minamoto no Takuno from the side, and he was also amazed. He had always known that Minamoto no Takuno's sealing techniques were powerful, but he did not know that they were so powerful.
The opponent was actually able to seal the Nine-Tails and even split it into two parts.
After the Nine-Tails splits in two, its power should also decrease, meaning the likelihood of it going berserk in the village in the future will be even lower.
It can be said that Gen Takuno was second only to Minato Namikaze in terms of merit in this incident!
"Kushina's life is no longer in danger, but her condition is not very good." Takuno's expression was very solemn.
Minato Namikaze felt both sad and relieved upon hearing this, realizing that things hadn't turned out the worst.
"After Kushina lost the Nine-Tails, her life energy was rapidly draining away. It's safe to say that if she hadn't had the Uzumaki clan's constitution, she would probably have died on the spot."
Moreover, under these circumstances, she continued to use the Vajra Lock that could bind the Nine-Tails, further depleting her body.
The biggest hole has been plugged now, but it will be very difficult to make up for what was lost before.
Yuan Tuoye sighed as he spoke and revealed the result.
"This may affect Kushina's future growth and lifespan, and it may also cause problems with her chakra refining later on."
"Is that so?" Minato Namikaze was a little sad, but not too heartbroken. They were still alive, weren't they? That was the greatest fortune.
"Yes, it would be best to have Kushina go to the hospital for treatment and to try to make up for as much as possible," Takuno suggested.
"I understand." Minato Namikaze nodded.
But then he thought about Kushina Uzumaki's personality. She didn't seem like the type to stay in the hospital peacefully. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. What if he had to take care of the baby while also hearing the doctor's report that she had slipped out of the hospital again?
Minato Namikaze thought about it and, to be honest, that possibility was quite high.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Takuno Minamoto, and said, "This time, we owe it all to you, senior. If it weren't for you, Kushina and I might have already left this world, leaving only Naruto."
Yuan Tuoye didn't have time to dodge and said helplessly, "I'm also a member of Konoha. These are things I should do."
Minato Namikaze didn't mind; his gratitude was genuine.
"Let's go back to the village," the Third Hokage said without stopping them.
Finally, Takuno Minamoto carried Naruto, while Minato Namikaze carried Kushina Uzumaki and walked towards the village.
While teasing Naruto, Gen Takuno suddenly seemed to have thought of something. If Minato Namikaze was still alive, what should Naruto call him?
Is it Naruto Uzumaki, or Naruto Namikaze?
Gen Takuno glanced at Namikaze Minato, seemingly hesitant to ask, since he already knew the name and the surname should naturally be Namikaze. It would be strange if he specifically asked about the surname.
He shook his head, indifferent. The other person wasn't his child, so it didn't matter what their surname was.
At this moment, Yuan Tuoye also quietly extracted a little blood from Naruto, a process that Naruto himself did not even feel pain from.
In front of Konoha Village.
Minato Namikaze stood there holding Kushina Uzumaki, staring blankly at the devastation Konoha Village had suffered at the hands of the Nine-Tails, a look of bewilderment in his eyes.
He could foresee that he would be quite busy ahead of him.
Gen Takuno already knew about the extent of the destruction in Konoha Village. His shadow clone had seen the entire scene from the highest point and naturally knew that the Nine-Tails' attack had destroyed nearly half of Konoha.
Therefore, the Uchiha clan's territory, which was not located in the center of Konoha Village, escaped this calamity.
However, restoring Konoha is the Fourth Hokage's responsibility. This time, the enemy entered directly using space-time ninjutsu, which did not cause much damage to the barrier, so he probably won't have much to do.
With this in mind, Gen Takuno entrusted Naruto to Minato Namikaze, and then—
Gen Takuno looked at his home, now reduced to ruins, and fell silent. His residence seemed to be located in the direction from which the Nine-Tails released its Tailed Beast Ball, so—
Has he suddenly become homeless?
Yuan Tuoye rubbed his forehead. He had been so focused on other things that he hadn't noticed this.
It doesn't matter, it's just a room. He can make do with the sealing group's office for now.
Yuan Tuoye looked at the night outside the office. It was already very late, but unfortunately, he really couldn't fall asleep.
So, after creating a shadow clone, he used his psychic abilities to arrive at the experimental base and began to tally up his gains.
First and foremost, there's the Book of Seals and the Hyuga bloodline.
Yuan Tuoye specially found a place to put these hard-won materials.
There's still a problem: he's obtained the bloodline, but he hasn't had time to successfully research the Ghost Sprout Luo Technique, which is a bit embarrassing.
Fortunately, he wasn't in a hurry to fuse with the Hyuga bloodline, as it offered almost no boost to his combat power. All he wanted was the bloodline of the descendant of the Otsutsuki Hamura.
In addition, there was the Four Symbols Seal and the even more advanced Eight Trigrams Seal. His plan was very successful, and at that time, he was the only one who could use the Eight Trigrams Seal.
Even if Minato Namikaze didn't want to, he had no choice but to hand over the Eight Trigrams Seal to him.
There's also Naruto's blood sample, but that's not important; it won't be too difficult for him to get Naruto's blood in the future.
Of course, there was also his biggest gain after all this busy work, which was—
Nine-Tails' chakra!
When he divided the Nine-Tails' chakra, he actually divided it into three parts.
The two larger portions were naturally given to Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto, but the smaller portion had long been sealed away by Takuno Minamoto himself.
However, because the proportion was small, that part was not able to inherit the Nine-Tails' will; it was a portion of the Nine-Tails' unconscious chakra, just like the Three-Tails' chakra back then.
However, even a small portion of it was enough for Gento to suspect that it was comparable to the Three-Tails' chakra.
And no one will even notice these things, not even the Nine-Tails itself.
The Nine-Tails inside Kushina Uzumaki would only think that this part is the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, and the same applies to the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.
Even if the two of them discussed it and found that a part was missing, they would most likely assume that some chakra was lost during the division.
As for Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, the amount of chakra from half of the Nine-Tails was practically limitless to them, so they naturally wouldn't notice the missing portion of chakra.
Yuan Tuono wanted to laugh heartily, something he hadn't done in a long time.
This harvest has truly exceeded expectations.
So now, he needs to process all of this.
With so much Nine-Tails chakra, the Ten-Tails could directly absorb some of it. Having so much chakra inside its body wouldn't be a good thing.
In addition, he also needs to start learning the most important art of spiritification!
